But, I think proseal has a problem with alcohol???? At least that is what I have read in the forums, in relation to auto fuel. You may want to check the specs before you use it. If you get the 1oz version you will not have to worry about measuring the part A and B....it comes pre-weighted.....

It's a two-part grey mess that smells awful, but seals great. About $40 for about a quart. WEAR GLOVES!!!!!

Sealed all the rivet lines on my RV-10 tanks, and used it, as recommended by Vans, in other places like the rudder trailing edge. I am sure there are other sealants that would be effective and easy to use for the fitting. Just trying to answer the proseal question.

My plan is to seal and rivet the filler neck flange even though edge distance will be minimal. The attached picture has some details and measurements. I believe that the 05-1056 part from aircraft spruce is the same flange that Zenith sells and is compatible with the SPRL caps. Would you mind posting pics of your tank build as things progress?
